Reagan’s historic Berlin wall speech
The great Ronaldus Maximus giving one of his best speeches. Pity the current crop of ‘world leaders’ and state run media don’t give Ronnie his due for the part he played in the wall coming down. But we lived through it and know how it really went down.

Glenn Beck, hated by both sides?
As I peruse my usual political sites everyday I'm noticing a growing trend of Conservatives lashing out against Glenn Beck. Didn't include the links here but anyone paying attention knows what I'm talking about but anyway...
For the life of me I don't understand all the hate, scorn & ridicule directed at Beck from the right side of the aisle. Your just helping the Far left, anti-American whack-jobs by hating on ole GB. In my opinion Glenn is doing the lords work. Yeah, he can be over the top and buffoonish at times and he freely admits he's a clown but all that aside. He is single handedly doing more to expose Obama & his socialist/communist puppet masters than any other person in America including Rush. If Beck keeps this up, pulling back the curtains to expose the real wizards pulling the levers, I fear he's going to be snuffed out. Every night I watch his show and as he peels the layers away from all the left wing, Soros funded progressive(socialist) groups I shake my head and think to myself: Dude, I sincerely hope you wear a bullet proof vest & have security for you and your family.
Scary for modern day America but that’s where we find ourselves in Obama’s quickly developing Airstrip One.

A future I want no part of
If we follow the path our living messiah is attempting to lead us down this could be our terrifying future.
January 20, Year 20 AO (After Obama)
Early morning sunlight flashed in Bill’s face, which wrinkled in irritation. He rolled on his back, leaving the worst of the light on his shoulder but too late; the sun had done its job. He was awake. He lay there for another minute or two but finally caved in to the inevitable, threw the heavy blankets aside and sat up, dropping his feet to the floor.
Brr. Freezing. He got up, the chill starting to sink in, and looked at his thermostat. 60 degrees. *SIGH* It was on days like this that he missed being able to set his temperature as he liked it instead of having a federally regulated thermostat set it for him. He knew a couple of tech-savvy guys who had hacked theirs and set it so that they were comfortable. Later they said it was almost worth the huge fine they had to pay and the public shaming. Almost. Bill had a sneaking admiration for them but realized, of course that carbon crimes were no small matter.
He opened his small closet and pulled out his robe and wrapped it tightly around himself , walked into his cramped living room and plopped down on the sofa, picked up the remote, hit the Power button and the TV actually turned on! . Excellent. Thank goodness for sunny days. Since electricity had started to get so expensive back in the early Change days most folks had done the only sensible thing and had gone green. Of course with any worthwhile endeavor there were sacrifices to be made and the fact that most green technologies were a bit, well dodgy, just had to be accepted. On a really cloudy day his rooftop sun collector produced about enough power to keep his refrigerator going and keep his quota of four, 60 watt max energy saver light bulbs on. But today he had heat and TV, too.

They came for the smokers...
...and nobody cared. Now they are coming for the Obese. Anyone care yet?
Yup, it's official. Obese is the new Tobacco.
Known this was coming since the war on Cigarettes started. Wasn't exactly sure where our elected nannies and self appointed do-gooders would go next but now we all know. It's obesity.
Just thinking out loud here but how are all you fat...errr I mean Obese people feeling right about now?
The campaign against you is just ramping up, your starting to get blamed and demonized for every bad thing that's wrong with the health care industry now and why costs are spiraling out of control. Are you feeling at all like us smokers have for the past 20 years? Can't speak for all smokers but for myself it's always pissed me off that I've been treated worse than a leper with AIDS since the early 90's and been pushed further away from people in restaurants, Airports, hospitals and everywhere. Hell about the only place I can smoke is my home and I'll wager there are plans in the works by the smoke police to put a end to that too.
Like Rush has been saying this week, we have cut the number of smokers in the this country by more than 1/2 in the past few decades and where did it get us? Medical cost's certainly didn't go down, they are higher than ever. The only benefit that I can see is our life expectancy has increased which is great but that raises a question in my little pea brain. Is our increased life expectancy due to millions of people kicking the habit or the huge advances in medicines and medical procedures? Don't know the answer to that but suspect it's a bit of both.
Now I'm no idiot. I know smoking is bad for you but it's your choice to make. Just as what you eat is your choice. It's not mine nor a Government paper pusher who pounds back cocktails for lunch everyday.
It's none of our business what someone else eats, how fat they get or if they are smoking a pack of cig's while inhaling a extra large Pizza while downing a keg of Budweiser. The founders intended for us to be a free country and real freedom means having the right to make stupid decisions about our health. Punitively taxing legal products such as tobacco, fast food or unhealthy snacks just to control certain behavior that our elected asshats don't agree with isn't America. At least not the America I or my folks grew up in.
To be sure health care in America needs to be worked on, streamlined and you should pay for what you use. Not somebody else. I don't want to pay for my neighbor's Dr. visit's and I'll bet you don't either. Should the bureaucrats in DC take it over to supposedly fix it? ahhh HELL NO. Everything they touch turns into a disaster which leads them to do more to fix the disaster they created in the 1st place. Costs will go even higher while the care will suffer.
Anyone who deals with Medicare or the VA like I do almost on a daily basis knows the disaster we are in for if Obamacare comes to pass. God help us all if it does.

1982 PBS Documentary Featuring Walter Williams
Life has been getting in the way big time and other than twitter I haven't had a lot of time to post lately but I've seen these vid's on several sites and wanted to put them up here if nothing else so I could find them later. Also a huge fan of Walter's and he does a stellar job in this documentary explaining how the policies of good intentioned politicians have wrecked generations of black folks and I might add poor whites too. A must watch and all as true today as it was when filmed in 1982. Hell, things have only gotten worse.

Independence Day 2009
After the Obama administration has run it's course who knows what kind of socialist hell hole we'll be left with but right here and right now this is still the best country on earth. Thank god for it.
Between fireworks and cookouts please take a moment to read our founding documents and you'll see what the fathers of the country intended is nothing like what we have and where we are headed.

Hiring Joe Legal versus Hiring Jose Illegal
Haven't received this email yet but I'm sure I will. Ran across it here
Some of those numbers like food and and rent per month seem a little inflated to me (maybe not for CA but I live in KY) But I think but the general message is exactly right.
Here is an example of why hiring illegal aliens is not economically productive for the State of California ...You have 2 families..."Joe Legal" and "Jose Illegal". Both families have 2 parents, 2 children and live in California . "Joe Legal" works in construction, has a Social Security Number, and makes $25.00 per hour with payroll taxes deducted.... "Jose Illegal" also works in construction, has "NO" Social Security Number, and gets paid $15.00 cash "under the table".
Joe Legal...$25.00 per hour x 40 hours $1000.00 per week, $52,000 per year Now take 30% away for state federal tax. Joe Legal now has $31,231.00.
Jose Illegal...$15.00 per hour x 40 hours $600.00 per week, $31,200.00 per year. Jose Illegal pays no taxes... Jose Illegal now has $31,200.00
Joe Legal pays Medical and Dental Insurance with limited coverage $1000.00 per month [$12,000.00 per year]. Joe Legal now has $19,231.00.
Jose Illegal has full Medical and Dental coverage through the state and local clinics at a cost of $0.00 per year. Jose Illegal still has $31,200.00.
Joe Legal makes too much money is not eligible for Food Stamps or welfare. Joe Legal pays for food. $1,000.00 per month [$12,000.00 per year]. Joe Legal now has $ 7,231.00
Jose Illegal has no documented income and is eligible for Food Stamps and Welfare. Jose Illegal still has $31,200.00.
Joe Legal pays rent. $1,000.00 per month [$12,000.00 per year]. Joe Legal is now in the hole minus (-) $4,769.00.
Jose Illegal receives a $500 per month Federal rent subsidy. Jose Illegal pays rent. $500.00 per month (section 8 housing). $6,000.00 per year. Jose Illegal still has $25,200.00.
Joe Legal now works overtime on Saturdays or gets a part time job after work.
Jose Illegal has nights and weekends off to enjoy with his family (and eat out!).
Joe Legal's and Jose Illegal's children both attend the same school. Joe Legal pays for his children's lunches while Jose Illegal's children get a government sponsored breakfast & lunch, and they also qualify to be "bused to school" at tax payer expense.
Jose Illegal's children have an after school ESL program. Joe Legal's children have to find a way to get to school and go home after school as, "latch-key kids" with no adult supervision.
Joe Legal and Jose Illegal both enjoy the same Police and Fire Services, but Joe paid for them and Jose did not pay.
Jose Illegal can send most of his money back home to build a new home for retirement, and have money to buy a new truck (and still have Medi-Cal benefits while living in a foreign country; until someone turns him in to authorities....if they ever find out!!)
Joe will be lucky if he has any money for retirement, a new vehicle, medical/dental benefits, or a place to live.
I have done the math, all you have to do is to look at it yourself. Don't hire illegal aliens.....Don't vote for any politician that supports illegal aliens.....And most important of all, write your politicians and let them know how you feel
PS: You forgot, Jose illegal's wife claims "single, no head of Household" and collects additional benefits that Joe legal's wife cannot claim.
No wonder our country is in trouble!! Think about it!

Memorial Day 2009
Been so busy with life in general it's my 1st post in awhile but I couldn't let Memorial day pass without saying something.
I chose the photos and links of the Korean War because my dad is veteran of Korea and right now he's in the ICU at the VA hospital with a very bad case of pneumonia. He's holding his own but the outcome is still uncertain.
Been spending a lot of time at the hospital and doing a lot of praying. Unfortunately don't think either of those will change anytime soon.
This weekend between the picnic's and barbeques please take the time to thank a veteran and say a prayer for all of those who have made the ultimate sacrifice in keeping the US safe. I sure know I will.

O’Reilly talking points on the politics of ridicule
Haven't watched Bill O'Reilly much in the past year, maybe longer. Used to watch him without fail every night but got bored and frankly it seemed he was getting far too middle of the road for my tastes. I tune in now and again when I can remember (and wife will give me the TV long enough)
Maybe Bill is feeling Beck's heat & decided to kick it up a notch but whatever the reason he had a great talking points on last night. Keeps this up I might just have to start watching him again.

Top Ten Reasons Blacks Should Stop Voting Democrat
Those are some damn good reasons……
by Lloyd Marcus
http://www.lloydmarcus.net/
10 The same problems Democrats have been promising to fix for 40 years are worse.
9 In 1950, 24% of Black kids grew up without dads. In 2009, 63%. Seven out of 10 are born out of wedlock. A result of Democrat encouraged generational government dependency.
8 The Black male high school dropout rate is 40%. Of those, 72% are jobless and 60% will probably be incarcerated. Another consequence of government replacing fathers in the home.
7 Amid the chaos after Hurricane Katrina, Democrat congressman William Jefferson used the National Guard to get home to retrieve $90,000 suspected bribe money from his freezer while New Orleans residents were trying to get rescued from rooftops.
6 Despite documented proof to the contrary, Democrats tell blacks the shameful lie that America is racist and their only hope is to keep electing Democrats to level the playing field.
5 Despite high test scores by inner city black kids in the D.C. school voucher program, Democrats plan to shut it down to appease their voters in the teachers union.
4 Democrats continually seek to lower standards. Thus, proving their bigotry of low expectations from blacks.
3 Most blacks believe marriage should be between a man and a woman. The Democrat party aggressively supports gay marriage and proposes stronger "hate crime" laws that include protection for pedophiles.
2 The Democrat party strongly supports abortion on demand, including the murderous partial birth. A disproportionate amount of aborted babies are black. 50% of black babies are aborted. Some call this Black Genocide. BlackGenocide.org
1 And, the number one reason blacks should stop voting Democrat...INSANITY is doing the same thing over and over again expecting a different result!

Ann Coulter absolutely torches Joy Behar
heh…
Joy Behar: I want to know if you want to be water-boarded because Sean Hannity has volunteered to be water-boarded, but don’t see him sticking his head under the faucet yet.
Ann Coulter: No I don’t want to be water-boarded; do you want to be aborted? Because I think you support abortion. In fact, can we abort the terrorists instead of water-boarding them?

Savage banned from England, could sue
So this is the level of dhimmitude that the once mighty Great Britain has sunk to...tell the truth about radical Muslims and you get barred from entering the country. Sad to see what's becoming of a once great empire. Going by the state of the UK I think it’s a badge of honor to banned.
Conservative talk show host Michael Savage's commentary has offended groups from parents of autistic kids to Muslim leaders. But the San Francisco-based syndicated talker, who made a "name and shame" list of people banned from entering Britain, may have been shocked himself to find some of his opponents, including civil libertarians, defending him.
On Tuesday, British Home Secretary Jacqui Smith published the names of 16 of 22 people banned from the country since October for allegedly fostering extremism or hatred. Along with Savage, who has called the Quran, the Muslim holy book, "a book of hate," Muslim extremists, jailed Russian gang members and a militant Israeli settler were banned. Smith cited "public interest" reasons for not disclosing six of the names.
Chrysler won’t payback bailout money
Not surprised at all about this. I contend it was never planned for them to pay it back. Auto bailout was never about saving the car companies but about saving the UAW.
The entire multi-act play of not allowing them to go bankrupt in the 1st place, bailing them out then insisting they go bankrupt was a brilliantly orchestrated plan to turn majority control over to the UAW and it worked to perfection. Next stop…GM
NEW YORK (CNNMoney.com) -- Chrysler LLC will not repay U.S. taxpayers more than $7 billion in bailout money it received earlier this year and as part of its bankruptcy filing.
This revelation was buried within Chrysler's bankruptcy filings last week and confirmed by the Obama administration Tuesday. The filings included a list of business assumptions from one of the company's key financial advisors in the bankruptcy case.
Some of the main assumptions listed by Robert Manzo of Capstone Advisory Group were that the Treasury would forgive a $4 billion bridge loan given to Chrysler in the closing days of the Bush administration, a $300 million fee on that loan, and the $3.2 billion in financing approved last week by the Obama administration to fund Chrysler's operations during bankruptcy.

Arlen Specter flips, now a Dem
Only comment on I have is big farking whoop. Only thing that’s changed is he’ll have a D by his name instead of R and since he votes with Dem’s most of the time we won’t notice a damn thing.
Veteran Sen. Arlen Specter announced Tuesday his intent to switch from the GOP to the Democratic Party, earning him the support of President Obama in next year's re-election campaign.
White House spokesman Robert Gibbs said Tuesday Obama will raise money and campaign for Specter if asked.
Despite winning election to the Senate five times as a Republican, Specter has jumped ship faced with the prospect of a strong challenge from conservative Pat Toomey in the GOP primary and Pennsylvania trending Democratic.

RIP Pontiac 1907-2009
It's a very sad day. No, nothing to do with Swine Flu or Obama rocketing us toward socialism at breakneck speed or the fact I'm out of a job in 4 days. That stuff is important yes but pales next to this....and it's the death of Pontiac brand.
End a of era is so overused but for this it's true as can be. For the making the Firebird/Trans Am alone Pontiac should be saved and yes I have my own selfish reasons. Don't most? Least I'm honest about it. Anyway....
Just mentioning Trans Am to me instantly transports me back to the summer of 1977. Being 9 years old at the time I went with my best friend Charlie & his sisters to the local twin cinema's to see this new flick called Smokey and the Bandit. Truthfully I didn't have any idea what it was about but as we were walking in I noticed a poster up in front of the theatre:
At the time CB's were all the rage and I knew some basic terms like Smokey referred to a cop, 99% of the time a state trooper.
Was like, ok. Yeah, that looks cool. We went in got popcorn, some candy (think Ju-Ju B's and m&m’s) and sat down in the darkened theatre. About 90 minutes later I stumbled out into the sunlight trying to make my brain digest what I had just seen. At that moment I knew that nothing else on Earth mattered but this: I wanted to be Burt Reynolds & I HAD to have a 1977 Pontiac Trans Am with the Georgia License plate on the front. The one with the confederate flag.
32 years have elapsed since that day and now. My thinking and life has a changed a lot. I no longer want to be Burt but still think he's a cool dude and good actor. The closest I ever came to owning 1977 Trans Am is a couple hot-wheels cars & a Revel model I put together(long since destroyed) You never know but perhaps someday I’ll be able to afford a blacker than night 1977 Trans-Am replete with the screaming chicken on the hood.
Ran across the below photo of Burt, Sally & the Trans Am on a random website. Looking at it takes me back to much simpler, sane time…the summer of ‘77 when it was still cool to smoke, still cool to drive a beast of a car with a Confederate flag on the front and not care a whit about political correctness. Amazing what a simple photo can do, isn’t it?

10 Questions that should be asked of Al Gore
But he won’t be because no Republican has the gonads to do it. Would be very entertaining to watch him stumble and squirm his way through these very good questions.
He (like most) are in it for the money. Bottom line, the more he scares people the more he stands to gain. If he would divest himself of all of his interests in these companies and actually start practicing what he preaches (you know, walk the walk) then I’d be far more likely to believe he’s serious about saving the planet.
Here’s just the 1st 3 questions, rest at link below
1. You are a partner in the venture capital firm of Kleiner-Perkins and a co-founder of the United Kingdom-based investment firm of Generation Investment Management, each of which stands to gain financially from greenhouse gas regulation. Please describe any other financial interests that you have in any other businesses that stand to profit from greenhouse gas regulation.
2. In October 2008, the New York Times Magazine featured a cover story on how Kleiner Perkins had invested $1 billion in 40 companies that would profit from new environmental and energy laws and regulations. What will be your share of any profits from these ventures?
3. How much of your own money have you contributed to Kleiner-Perkins, Generation Investment Management and other businesses that stand to profit from greenhouse gas regulation? If you have not contributed significant amounts of your own capital to these businesses, what, then, is your role in them? Are you a lobbyist? Are you the face of their public relations efforts? Is your job to run around scaring politicians and the public into enacting greenhouse gas regulation?

Obligatory Earth Day 2009 Post
Was going to write up a lengthy post on Earth in the lurch 2009 or evil humans are destroying the planet 2009 or what the hell ever it's called but just couldn't muster up enough gumption to give a shit. So in lieu of the diatribe I had planned here's links out the arse to some good reading on the truth about the green Nazi's
The entire environmental movement has been hijacked by displaced Commies or people who don't really care about the earth but are using the guise of "saving the planet" as a way to take our freedom and money away from us. Do you think it's a total coincidence that Earth day just happens to fall on Vladimir Lenin's birthday? No, neither do I.
Sometime today remember to start a bon-fire with your old tires (use gas to light it) and bbq up some spotted owl eggs served with a side of Bald eagle in a endangered turtles shell.

Holocaust Martyrs and Heroes Remembrance Day 2009
Yeah, sure. It didn’t happen. Right…right.
Well screw the Holocaust deniers, there’s a place in hell for those feces flinging asshat’s. We must never forget this happened and always make sure the truth is taught to our children.
Holocaust Martyrs' and Heroes' Remembrance Day (Yom Hashoah in Hebrew) is a national day of commemoration in Israel, on which the six million Jews murdered in the Holocaust are memorialized. It is a solemn day, beginning at sunset on the 27th of the month of Nisan and ending the following evening, according to the traditional Jewish custom of marking a day. Places of entertainment are closed and memorial ceremonies are held throughout the country. The central ceremonies, in the evening and the following morning, are held at Yad Vashem and are broadcast on the television. Marking the start of the day-in the presence of the President of the State of Israel and the Prime Minister, dignitaries, survivors, children of survivors and their families, gather together with the general public to take part in the memorial ceremony at Yad Vashem in which six torches, representing the six million murdered Jews, are lit. The following morning, the ceremony at Yad Vashem begins with the sounding of a siren for two minutes throughout the entire country. For the duration of the sounding, work is halted, people walking in the streets stop, cars pull off to the side of the road and everybody stands at silent attention in reverence to the victims of the Holocaust. Afterward, the focus of the ceremony at Yad Vashem is the laying of wreaths at the foot of the six torches, by dignitaries and the representatives of survivor groups and institutions. Other sites of remembrance in Israel, such as the Ghetto Fighters' Kibbutz and Kibbutz Yad Mordechai, also host memorial ceremonies, as do schools, military bases, municipalities and places of work. Throughout the day, both the television and radio broadcast programs about the Holocaust. In recent years, other countries and Jewish communities have adopted Yom Hashoah, the 27th of Nisan, to mark their own day of memorial for the victims of the Holocaust.

Columbine 10 years later
It’s hard to wrap my head around the fact that it’s been 10 years since this tragedy occurred. To understand exactly what 10 years is consider this: If the kids above would have not been brutally murdered they would be in their mid to late twenties and probably married with kids themselves.
The teacher William Sanders might be retired now fishing and golfing his days away. But thanks to a couple lunatics we’ll never know.

Obama & Hugo: Fist bumping fools
What is there to say except it’s absolutely fucking disgusting and borderline traitorous if you ask me.
A sitting US president should not be doing “the hey, how are you brother” handjive with a avowed Communist enemy of America. Think that photo alone tells you everything you need to know about the former Communist..I mean community organizer.

Sheriff Joe's letter to Sharpton
This is freaking hilarious. Surprised the MSM isn’t shitting kittens over how Sheriff Joe just torches the reprehensible race baiter Rev. Al. They (as usual) probably haven’t been alerted to it yet. Give media matters a few days to send them the talking points and they’ll be all over it…
Entire letter below, Link to the PDF file here
Reverend Al Sharpton
106 West 145th Street
Harlem, New York City, New York 10039
Fax: 212 690 3070
Dear Reverend Sharpton:
I have read about you with much interest since learning of the protest you plan to lead against me in Maricopa County in June as a way to force my resignation or removal from office.
Your public proclamation leads me to the conclusion: not only do you not understand Arizona; you also do not understand democracy. As the elected Sheriff who, so far has been elected to five consecutive four-year terms, I answer to the four million residents of Maricopa County. I do not answer to the whims of the media, or locally and nationally elected officials who want open borders and who have their own agendas. Nor do I answer to a publicity hound outside interloper who has demonstrated no interest in looking for the truth before making loud uninformed noises.
While your public outcries are colorful, there are several instances where you have inserted yourself into other people's affairs without knowing any of the facts. Poor judgment has caused you plenty of trouble in the past and promises to do so again. Most earnest people want to learn by their mistakes. You seem to glory in repeating them.
I would like to help you avoid further embarrassment by assisting in your understanding of the illegal immigration problem here in my county. When and if you do make the trip here, I invite you to call me to talk about these false allegations.
We can discuss how my deputies are extensively trained by the federal government to properly combat illegal immigration and how the laws of this state allow this Sheriff's Office to question and investigate the immigration status of those people deputies detain in the course of our everyday law enforcement duties.
Don't make the same mistake made by the four Democratic Congressmen calling for a U.S. Department of Justice investigation of this office. They and other politicians relied solely on media reports and anti-law enforcement handouts that are replete with inaccuracies. They have brainwashed a handful of local residents to believe these lies. Rest assured that the men and women of the Maricopa County Sheriff's Office do not racially profile anyone.
However, we do enforce the state and federal illegal immigration laws. And we will continue to do so as long as these laws are on the books. You can parachute into town, stomp your feet up and down and hold more press conferences against me -- that is a hallmark of democracy too -- but you will not stop me, nor slow me down for one second, from doing what is right.
Before you bring your circus to town and take to our streets by marching against this Sheriff, let's get you fully informed for a change. Congressman John Conyers did not have the courtesy to respond to my invitation to visit with me personally. I hope you will consider my invitation. Surely, a man like yourself -- a reverend -- who famously preaches from the church pulpit understands the infinite wisdom of these words: You shall know the truth and the truth will set you free. Let's talk about the truth, Reverend. I await your response.
Sincerely,
(signature)
Joe Arpaio
Sheriff, Maricopa County
Confirmed: The Obama DHS hit job on conservatives is real
Well it’s official. If you support the constitution or disagree with Obama (one in the same) then your a perceived threat to the left. We can only wonder where this will lead but I think we all know….
From Michelle Malkin:
Yesterday, Roger Hedgecock and the Liberty Papers posted an unclassified DHS Office of Intelligence and Analysis report titled:
Rightwing Extremism: Current Economic and Political Climate Fueling Resurgence in Radicalization and Recruitment.
The “report” (PDF file here) was one of the most embarrassingly shoddy pieces of propaganda I’d ever read out of DHS. I couldn’t believe it was real.

Navy Seals free captain & kill 3 Muslim pirates
Yeah, I’ll go there because the MSM won’t. Most, perhaps all of the “pirates” are Muslims from Somalia. Seems we are fighting the religion of piece(s) everywhere we turn. Oh well, didn’t want to get off on that rant. Wanted to say….
Great job Seals! Should have happened days ago but when you got a limp noodle for a president that’s more worried about what the world thinks than taking care of business then you get stalling and indecision but at least he did something.
U.S. Navy Frees Captain, Kills 3 Somali Pirates
and now comes this….to which I say bring it on Jack Sparrow!

Happy Easter
Going to church for the 1st time in years this morning then after that out to brunch with the wife's parents. After that over to my parents house for awhile so somewhat busy day ahead. Weather is supposed to be beautiful so should be great.
To all happy Easter and if you don't go to church today please take a moment and think about what this day means. It's more than just cute bunnies.

Dennis Miller on Obama’s bow to his Muslim masters
Dennis is so ON in this clip it’s ridiculous. Would love to see him and Ann C. get together and fire off the one liners. Maybe at the next CPAC ? :)
In case the video wont play here’s the direct link to it: Dennis Miller on the Obama Bow
Ann is brilliant this week…Let's All Surrender Our Weapons -- You First!
So many good comments in Ann’s piece it’s hard to pin down my fav but it might be this:
Liberals tolerate rallies on behalf of cop-killers, but they prohibit law-abiding citizens working at community centers in Binghamton, N.Y., from being armed to defend themselves from disturbed, crack-addicted America-haters like Jiverly Wong.
It's something in liberals' DNA: They think they can pass a law eliminating guns and nuclear weapons, but teenagers having sex is completely beyond our control.
Messiah not as loved as MSM would have you believe
See story below from the great blog No Quarter for Chairman O’s adoring followers in Turkey. (Above pic borrowed from them)
Surprised at the foaming hatred? Don’t be. The fact of the matter is that he’s not as well liked as the MSM would like you to believe. Not even in the US. Everything the Obama admin stages & everything the MSM reports is designed to make you think that he’s the 2nd coming of Jesus and he’s love the world over. Remember, IT’S NOT TRUE! Also some people & countries just hate the US and the only way that would change is if we converted to Islam, shredded the constitution and implemented sharia law. Which I think has been penciled in to happen in Chairman O’s 2nd term :)
Dick Morris on The factor 04/08/09
Haven’t watched O’Reilly in awhile but caught most of it last night. The segment with Dick Morris and Dennis Miller were the best by far and here’s the video of Morris laying out my boy lollipop. Outstanding!

Yee-haw! Let the queering begin…
The Republican governor of Vermont yesterday vetoed a bill legalizing same-sex marriage, only to have the state's Legislature override the veto today.
The bill passed easily through the Vermont Senate last month, 26-4, but the House approved it 95-52, just five votes short of the two-thirds majority needed in the 150-member body to override a gubernatorial veto.
The Associated Press reports the vote today to override the veto was 23-5 in the state Senate and 100-49 in the House.

Gay marriage now a-ok in Iowa
I’ll bet they are shocked and appalled that this is now sanctioned and approved by their state Government
Midwest shocked to become new gay marriage capital
I’m no fan of public displays of affection from any gender but that’s rather disgusting isn’t it?
Personally I have no problem with gay and lesbians doing whatever they want behind closed doors but am past tired of it being literally crammed down our throats even though the vast majority of Americans are against gay marriage. For thousands of years marriage has been defined as 1 man and 1 woman. There’s no reason to change that now to placate a tiny but vocal minority of the population.

RIP Andy Hallett
Right before bed last night I saw this and just couldn’t believe it. 1st reaction was how does a 33 year old guy die of heart disease!?! and he’s been fighting it for the past 5 years? WTF, man this sucks, that’s just far too young to die.
I was a huge fan of Angel and one of the main reasons other than Angel of course was Lorne, the host. Played brilliantly by Andy. You could always count on him to show up and liven up any scene he was in or break out into song with a surprisingly good voice.
God bless Andy. He will surely be missed.

Happy Birthday....
...to me! Yeah, might has well toot my own horn.
On March 30th I'll be 41 and can't farking believe it. Seems it wasn't that long ago I was bummed out about turning 30 and I'd love to be 30 again knowing what I know now. Oh well, like they say. Getting older is always better than the alternative.
Funny side note is my wifes parents are celebrating their 41st wedding anniversery too! So they were married roughly the same time I was being born. Weird ehh? Just shows we were meant to be together.
We don't have much planned for today as it's a weekday but my lovely wife has planned a great Saturday for us night next weekend at the Melting Pot and I can't wait. There's about 3 bomb pop's with my name on them.

Maskatron lives!
Well I found something I didn't know I was looking for and it's made me giddily happy for some reason. Maskatron!
Ok queue the crickets and tumble weeds as I'm sure nobody but me knows what the hell I'm talking 'bout. Well let me 'splain...
Maskatron is a Six Million Dollar man action figure that I had back in the 70's and I absolutely loved it. Played with it ALL THE TIME. Even had bath time adventures with it. In fact I still have it's head in a box of old junk over at my parents house and I think there’s a face or 2 with it. There might be more so I need to leave work and go look. Will post pics if I find anything worthwhile.
Ran across this great spread of 6 million Dollar man toy ad’s over at the Plaid Stallions website. Looking at all these I think I had almost everything. Even some of the Bionic Woman stuff! No, wasn’t gay or even curious but needed her to make the crossover episode re-enactments authentic :-)

Bravo Daniel Hannan
If I’ve seen this once I’ve seen it 10 times and no I am not kidding on that but it’s so good just had to post it. If not other reason so I could find it again if needed.
It is so very refreshing to witness a politician speak the truth with strong conviction like this fellow. Would be even better if our worthless criminals in congress were more like Daniel. If so I have a feeling our country wouldn’t be in the shitter as it is now.
Sidenote: Ever notice that if you speak with a British accent you can say almost anything and still sound dignified and above the fray? Just saying….
Going after CEO’s then go after Hollywood
Great idea from Linda Harvey at WorldNet Daily
Is Nicole Kidman worth $15-$20 million a picture? How about George Clooney, Matt Damon, Reese Witherspoon or Angelina Jolie? If we're capping Wall Street salaries, we need to be socially just and review the West Coast as well.
Are there people who could be substituted for Cameron Diaz, who'd be willing to work for, say, $5 million a film? Or even a paltry million? Shouldn't we share that wealth? Maybe she'd become nicer or at least well-informed at a lower rate of compensation.
Sidney Poitier said recently that Hollywood CEOs should earn no more than $500,000, and I'm with him. The same should apply to the stars. I know it's a hard-knock life, but people have been known to live on money like that.
And what about pro sports? Terrell Owens reportedly earns around $7 million a year. Aren't there ex-high school receivers out there willing to step into his cleats for a lot less than that?
Don't miss Whistleblower magazines definitive exposé on Left Coast celebrities, "Why Hollywood is Insane"
And we haven't even gotten to the musicians yet. How much effort does it take for some of the music produced now? These people don't need compensation. Wouldn't most be willing to work (if you can call it that) for nothing? I say, free downloadable music for everyone, all the time, under the new regime!
If our wealth confiscating Government is going to start ‘fixing’ everyone’s pay to ensure ‘fairness’ then start where the salaries are truly out of control, Hollywood. Let’s see if all the celebutards will still support and throw fund raisers for Chairman O when 1/2 or more of their income disappears.
Applying the Liberal wealth redistributionist’s thinking to this you know it’s not fair that huge stars like Brad Pitt & Angelina Jolie are paid so much per film while other lesser known actors who work just as hard are not. Who cares if they aren’t good enough to get paid as much as a A-list celeb. This is all about FAIRNESS not actual talent.
And hell, that’s just scratching the surface, next stop professional athletes. NBA, NFL, MLB, PGA. Some of those guys surely aren’t worth what they are getting paid right? It’s just a outrage that contracts were drawn up privately between consenting adults to arrive at a monetary amount that both parties feel is in their best interest. That’s not fair to the less talented athletes! Regardless of their talent or lack thereof they deserve to be paid more!
Now let’s set our sights on rock star’s income. The big Liberal tax the evil rich types like Jon Bon Jovi, Bruce Springsteen and Bono earn far more than they need. About time they pay their ‘fair share’ don’t you think?
If the punish and demonize the rich plan would go after those groups I just might get behind the punish the rich crusade. Soon as monkeys fly outta my ass and I turn into a socialist that is.

Official Logo of TOTUS
Chairman O has a rather creepy cult like logo so his teleprompter should as well and it’s not even creepy. Just cool & hilarious.

TOTUS has it’s own blog
This is one of those ideas wish I’d thought of.
What the hell is TOTUS your probably asking. Well if you a Rush fan you KNOW. Teleprompter of the United States. Tell me that’s not funny as hell. Rush is talking it up and has been on a roll lately saying things like Obama’s teleprompt told him to say this or that. LOL
Barack Obama's Teleprompter's Blog

Overall #1 seed is your Louisville Cardinals!
It’s about time. Like Rodney D. used to say we get no respect but we are now. Nationwide & perhaps worldwide the cards finally some recognition for being a great team.
No doubt this group of guys have the skills to go all the way I just hope they don’t get caught up in the hype and not let being #1 go to their heads. Keep blinders on, keep playing your game and you’ll do fine.
Good luck guys! Links to some good b’ball reading:

Richard Allen Davis will never be executed
If ever there was a poster child for the pro death penalty side it’s the human crapstain Richard Allen Davis. If we had such a thing as real justice in America that piece of trash would be chained up to a wall this very moment and Polly Klaas’s father Marc, would be allowed to beat him until he was unrecognizable. Unfortunately that will never happen but at least we can dream.
This story hammers home the point of why it’s more costly to put people to death than to incarcerate them for life. The whole process is SLOWER than the glacier that created the grand canyon. I mean look at this:
How did it take this long? Davis was sentenced to death in September 1996 for the 1993 crime. Then it took the California Supreme Court office that handles appellate attorneys until mid-2001 to appoint attorney Phillip Cherney to represent Davis. As I've reported before, five years is not an unusual hiatus.
Then it took Cherney until July 11, 2005 to file an opening brief. Producing the appeal took longer than the prosecuting of Davis.
After another four years of delay and back and forth with the California attorney general's office, voila, there was a hearing in March.
Unreal isn’t it? Chances almost 100% he will OD on death row or die of old age before he’s ever put to death and he knows it. Easy way to solve this is so simple. I call it my 1 and 5 rule.
When convicted and sentenced to death you get 1 and only 1 automatic appeal that takes place 5 years to the day you were convicted. You have 1825 days to either prove your innocence or cast enough reasonable doubt in a jury’s mind that they won’t put you to death.
If you are successful then no death for you. If not then you are led from the courtroom and immediately executed with whatever method the state is using at the time.
Should be very simple but sure I’m missing something in the big picture of things. It’s unarguable that it would save a blue TON of money and keep death row fairly cleared out. Sounds like a win win to me.
